On 11th September, Creative England launched the Creative Cities Growth Programme, a £1M package to encourage and support creative industry hotspots in film, television, games and digital media in cities and regions outside of London. They’ll be working with public and private companies and organisations to develop support programmes around specific industry areas, to invest directly into creative businesses in their region. They also announced a wider programme of investments at the event, including a re-launch of their Business Loans and Interactive Healthcare Fund (see below) for both the North West and the West Midlands in partnership with Greater Manchester AHSN and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust respectively.
